Which alcohol should I explore

Quite new to drinking, I have child-like taste buds so anything sweet like most RTDs I find easy to drink but I want to explore more.

I literally gag when drinking beer or cider, doesn’t matter how much I like the taste, the alcohol (like the basic sorta taste in those not just alcohol in general) punch makes me gag. I want to get into more but have no clue where to start and don’t want to stick to my sweet stuff only sorta thing, what do you guys think and what have you learnt about yourself?
